Her.ie: What key makeup trends can we expect to see this Spring?
Amanda Carney: The natural look is a key beauty trend for Spring. It’s all about fresh, dewy, luminous skin, a neutral eye, and a soft yet shiny lip.
The must-have Urban Decay products to illuminate your skin this Spring are the 'B6 Prep Spray' & ’Naked Skin Beauty Balm.’ When it comes to foundation, my advice is to use the 'Naked Skin Weightless Ultra Definition Foundation.' It creates buildable coverage with a demi-matte finish.
Next, it’s all about the eyes. To get bigger, blacker, badder lashes, 'Perversion Mascara' is the one for you. Team this mascara with UD’s 'Ink for Eyes liner' to add definition to the eyes and truly make them stand out from the crowd.
And for lips, we are all about pigment and shine, and our new collection of 'Sheer Revolution Lipstick' gives you the best of both worlds. Its rich, creamy feel and added shine really add to any look from day to night.
Her.ie: What three products should be staples in every girl’s handbag this Spring?
Perversion Mascara: This triple black pigment mascara is super creamy in texture which means if you apply in the morning and need to glam up your eyes a little more for an evening event, you can reapply without fear of clumping.
Naked Skin Weightless Complete Coverage Concealer: This concealer is the perfect little pick-me-up as it gives you buildable, even coverage with a luminous, demi-matte finish to create a brighter, fresher complexion.
Sheer Revolution Lipstick: These creamy hydrating lipsticks are perfect for a day to night look. With the sheer pigment and added shine they are definitely a must have for you handbag.
Her.ie: What’s the secret to creating a natural, dewy look?
AC: The secret is using the correct products to suit your skin. Start by prepping the skin with UD's 'B6 Vitamin Infused Prep Spray.' This will reduce redness, minimise oil production and close open pores.
Next apply UD's 'Naked Skin Illuminating BB' which hydrates, primes, protects, perfects and firms the skin. Then apply 'Naked Skin Weightless Ultra Definition Foundation' - its demi-matte finish and light weight texture will leave your skin looking natural and dewy.
Follow by doing some light contouring using 'Naked Flushed.' Using the bronzer apply in the shape of a figure three. Start shading at the top of the outside of the forehead, then bring down underneath the cheekbone and then underneath the jaw line.
Use the highlighter at the top of the cheekbone in a half moon shape up towards the temple area. When using the blusher, apply to the apple of your cheek in circular motion upwards on the cheekbones.
To finish off the look set with Urban Decays 'All Nighter Setting Spray.' This will keep the makeup in place for 16 hours - it's like hairspray for the face!
Her.ie: What tricks can you offer readers to take a makeup look from day-to-night this Spring?
AC: Put the extra time in by priming, perfecting and setting your makeup. This means it will last all day. To change up your look from natural day to night-time glamour, either apply a bold lip, or if you have a neutral eye on and you want to focus on your eyes, all you need to do is blend a darker shade into the outer crease area in a horizontal 'V' shape and add some shadow to the bottom lash line to smoke up the look. If you are going for a dramatic smokey eye stay neutral on the lip or vice versa. This will complement your look and make you shine! To view the complete Urban Decay collection, click here.
